BEFORE REQUESTING LINER WORK
Identify the appliance and chimney.
The address, fuel, appliance label, chimney photographs, prior inspection, and known liner history help a provider prepare without turning a remote description into a diagnosis.
- Property town and street
- Fuel and appliance type
- Existing liner material, if documented
- Smoke, odor, staining, corrosion, or inspection findings
